Did you get your security check?
Brad and Norm spoke about the requisite police checks for club members and their families coming into contact with vulnerable persons. Caroline Coulombe of the Peel Regional Police was good enough to come to the club to collect the forms for the club members for police checks.
Norm explained that the Peel Regional Police have been doing such checks for over 30 years -- they currently perform 65,000 checks per year. Although our club is leading the way in Rotary for such checks, Rotary is far behind other organizations such as Boy Scouts, Big Brothers and Big Sisters who have been doing such checks for a long time. The trend is towards all those who work with vulnerable people being required to undergo such checks.
If you didn't take advantage of last week's convenient security check, please see Norm or Brad for a form. It's club policy that all members have a security check.
